The Dallas Cowboys System
http://cover32.com/2016/02/15/the-dallas-cowboys-system/
Winning teams have a system in place. They plug in players, rev up the engine, and let her rip. Players come and go, but that system remains the same.
Phil Jackson had the triangle. Without MJ, the Bulls advanced to game 7 of the second round. In St. Louis, the players talk about playing baseball the right way — the Cardinals way. In New England, every time a player goes down or moves on, they find a similar type and keep the line moving. Matt Cassel went 11 – 5 in Brady’s place.
A good system casts its players in roles to maximize their strengths. Players are free to just go out and play, which only increases their chances of success. By contrast, losing teams are filled with roles that are improperly cast. Players are set up to fail. A move to a new system can turn a bust on one team into most improved on another.
Some would argue that the Cowboys have enough talent to win. Indeed, teams would kill to have that offensive line. Other coaches have told Troy Aikman that the front seven of the Cowboys was the best they’d faced all season. So, if it’s not the talent, what is it? Could it be the system? What could explain why the players and the plays they run seem so often out-of-sync?
When asked recently, “Do you know what position you play right now?,” Byron Jones responded, “We’ll see. I think they’re gonna try to keep me at safety. But you never know what’s gonna happen. There’s a lot of moving pieces at this moment to see where I can end up falling. I think that’s their vision from the beginning, having a safety that can come down and guard receivers and be able to be back there and make deep-field plays.”
Sounds like a man uncertain of his role.
When asked what he thought about his first season, Byron said “it was a good wake-up call for me. Just to be out there and understand that athleticism is not gonna carry you. You gotta be good at football.”
And your bosses gotta be good at football, too.
